In the freshly released video, a group of suspects is seen utilizing a stolen truck to forcibly remove an ATM from a Walgreens in Washington state. The suspects abandoned the scene as law enforcement approached, highlighting what authorities are calling a meticulously planned break-in.

The footage, shared by the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office, shows the stolen truck relentlessly crashing into the storefront, demolishing a security gate. Two individuals then leap from the vehicle and secure a chain to the ATM inside the store.

As the suspects try to haul the ATM out, they leave behind a trail of destruction from the truck’s repeated assaults. Eventually, the ATM is torn from its placement and dragged across the parking lot as the truck makes a hasty exit.

Officers arrived on the scene around 3:30 a.m. on Wednesday following reports of an active burglary.

Witnesses told arriving officers that the stolen truck with at least three suspects had already fled, dragging the ATM behind it as it sped off.

While searching the surrounding neighborhood, a deputy spotted a second truck connected to the crime. 

According to officials, the suspects were attempting to retrieve the ATM after it detached from the chain during their escape. Once they noticed law enforcement nearby, they jumped back into the vehicle and sped away, leaving the ATM behind.

The second truck managed to get away but was later found abandoned in Tacoma. Investigators say the attempt was clearly coordinated, involving multiple vehicles and suspects working together.

Authorities are now asking the public for information that could help identify the individuals or trucks involved, noting that the break-in caused thousands of dollars in damage and that investigators want to prevent additional attempts.

A spokesperson for the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office told Fox News Digital that after the video was posted, several citizens reported seeing the two trucks and suspects together earlier in the night. Many believed the behavior was suspicious but did not call it in at the time.

“This is a great example of why we encourage citizens to report all suspicious activity, so deputies can investigate before crimes happen,” the spokesperson said. “If you see something, say something.”

Deputies are also investigating whether the group may be linked to other recent ATM thefts in the region. With the suspects still at large, officials warn they may attempt a similar crime in another jurisdiction.
